I like the idea of simplifying the gear concept, maybe only using two gears? Definitely something worth trying.

Yes exactly, the teeth become difficult to resolve at smaller sizes. I would hesitate recommending changing the design at different sizes—its usually more efficient and less confusing to have one thing that scales well.
